Captain Crunch is. Yum.Lucky Charms are not so magically delicious as an adult - even after a good smoke session
Eclairs. The standard used to be filling them with a luscious cream pudding for a filling.Have you ever happened upon a product that you liked as a young kid/adult and said what they heck, for old time sake I remember being fond of this? Today's tragedy is Open Pit BBQ sauce. Not only is the taste not there - I can see my plate through the drops of sauce that are on my plate because the sauce is so thin. I know it was never great, just like Boone's Farm and Little Caesar's never were great either. Should have just stuck with the memories.
What else have you guys gone back to that has disappointed? Even better, is there anything you gone back to that is just as good today as it was back then?
Captain Crunch is. Yum.
Not enough flowerUsed to be, however NONE of the varieties taste the same or even has the same texture "especially PeanutButter crunch".......something has changed other than my age.
Greg, clearly it has not changed. SPAM has a shelf life of 2000 years, maybe more. So they made tons of it during the first year of production back in the late 30ās and still selling from that batch today - thats why it looks, feels, and tastes the same today LOLOK, just as good as back then (or as bad as it was back then, depending on your POV) Iām going with SPAM. Iām frying some up with eggs this morning and SPAM has absolutely not changed since day one.
Iām not a big SPAM eater, or of any processed meats for that matter, but I do buy some occasionally. My local groceries sold out of basically 3 things at the height of the pandemic-toilet paper, eggs, and SPAM! I never would have believed it-I once sent my wife a picture of the empty shelves!Greg, clearly it has not changed. SPAM has a shelf life of 2000 years, maybe more.

This makes me sad about the Open Pit. Was thinking about it not long ago. I remember as a kid that was the only sauce we used at home. Dad grilling chicken on the charcoal grill, doing exactly what the ad said..."lay it on thick."Have you ever happened upon a product that you liked as a young kid/adult and said what they heck, for old time sake I remember being fond of this?

You would have to simmer it for a while to reduce it down to an acceptable thickness. Even then, itās not going to be the same flavor. Iāll either have to doctor it somehow, or use it as braising liquid where it will thicken as it cooks. Like in short ribs.This makes me sad about the Open Pit. Was thinking about it not long ago.

Those were great summers and I was thinking of reliving a bit of it by grilling some chicken on charcoal and "laying it on thick".....now I need to decide if I want to risk being let down by not being able to recreate what I remember. I can still taste that chicken from years ago.....
Twinkies
